Robert F. Kennedy implicitly calls Biden a totalitarian. “There is no time in history where the people who were censoring speech were the good guys,” Democratic presidential candidate #RobertFKennedy,Jr. told #BreitbartNews Sunday host #JoelPollak. Kennedy explained that in crafting the #BillOfRights, America’s Founders “put the right to free expression in the #FirstAmendment because all the other rights depended on it—because the government that has the power to silence its critics has license for any kind of atrocity.” “They also understood just theoretically that the whole basis for #democracy was the free flow of information,” he said, adding that democracy’s advantage over “tyrannical and monarchical” systems of government is that “through the free flow of information, the best policies can triumph in the marketplace of ideas.” “We’re now in this situation where without #FreeSpeech, democracy just withers and dies. Free speech is the fertilizer; it’s the sunlight; it’s the water for democracy,” he continued. “There is no time in history where the people who were censoring speech were the good guys. They’re always the bad guys because, of course, that is the first and last step of #totalitarianism: silencing critics.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/04/24/exclusive-robert-f-kennedy-jr-there-is-no-time-in-history-where-the-people-who-were-censoring-speech-were-the-good-guys/
